by lingmu0

JEI++ is a client-side addon for Just Enough Items that adds a recipe tree, collapsible item groups and a creative item tab bar.

What it does

Installed next to Just Enough Items, the addon changes how recipe screens and the item list behave. Recipes with several candidate ingredients open in a paged directory, and a recipe tree shows the crafting chain for an item, with buttons that switch between the real JEI recipe views and the default ones. Tag information pages can hide the excluded buttons and draw only icons.

The item list can be organized with groups defined in JSON files. A group can list item IDs, tags or regular expressions matched against full namespace:path identifiers, and each entry may take a literal name or a translation key. When groups overlap, higher priority values win. The addon works with Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Recipe tree

    An EMI-like tree shows the recipes needed to craft an item, with a crafting assistant that follows the chain.

  2. Collapsible item groups

    Items in the list can be grouped and collapsed, and the all-items categories sit above JEI's list with click and wheel navigation.

  3. Paged recipe navigation

    The top arrow and page-number band move between full pages, and the recipe title and category icon rows switch recipes and categories.

  4. Creative item tab bar

    A tab bar above the item list gives quick access to category tabs, with reserved space so page and count overlays render above item textures.

Questions

Does JEI++ need Just Enough Items?

Yes. Just Enough Items (JEI) is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside JEI++.

Does JEI++ have to be installed on a server?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

How are item groups defined?

Groups are written in JSON using the jei plus plus:group type, and tag members use the jei plus plus:tag type with regex or namespace:path matching.

What the author says

JEI++ is a client-only JEI addon. It does not add blocks, items, recipes, or other gameplay content. Default-recipe choices are saved in config/jei_plus_plus/recipe_defaults.json. JSON group files are loaded from config/jei_plus_plus/stack_groups/*.json whenever JEI refreshes its item list.
